Current chief off to gaze at the Northern Lights

Neil Marshall, the Brit Acer brought home to clean up its British business, has bagged a promotion. An internal candidate will be lined up to replace him as he moves further up the ladder.

Staff in Blighty were told this week that Acer UK managing director Marshall is rising to regional director for northern Europe, an area that includes the UK and Nordic and Baltic countries, according to Taiwanese multinational Acer.
